Additional Information
The certificate program will provide O&P clinicians with a practical, end-to-end roadmap for implementing additive manufacturing in clinical practice. Through three 90-minute sessions, participants will explore digital workflows, scanning technologies, design preparation, production methods, post-processing and finishing, organizational adoption, reimbursement considerations, and business implementation strategies. Drawing on real-world experience from digital workflow leaders, the program is designed to help attendees understand how to successfully evaluate, implement, and scale it within their own practice.
